NEW ALBUM ‘NIGHT HAWK’ AUGUST 26
2016
Inductee to The Country Music Hall of Fame Shows No Signs of Slowing
Down Amidst Induction, Museum Exhibit and 80th Birthday Celebrations
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 11, 2016)
– Charlie Daniels has never fit into any certain label, purposely
creating a sound and blend of music all his own. The new album, Night Hawk,
stays true to that tradition with Daniels putting a unique spin on
cowboy songs both well known and uncovered from through the years. The
album will be available on August 26 at www.CharlieDaniels.com, FYE, and wherever music is sold.
Night Hawk will be available for presale on August 15 here where the first 100 autographed copies sold will also be hand numbered by Charlie Daniels himself.
“Most of our concepts about cowboys, and all things western, are
mostly derived from movies and TV. Well, the truth of the matter is, the
real cowboys are not glow in the dark characters who go around fighting
rustlers and cleaning out saloons with their fists. The actual working
cowboy is a hard working, different breed who spend endless hours in the
saddle and as Louis L’Amour said, they ‘ride for the brand.’ Night Hawk is a tribute to the working cowboy and his way of life,” said Charlie Daniels.
Night Hawk is a reflection of stories from the trail told by
cowboys around the campfire through the years. Many of the songs,
introduced in an acoustic style, are obscure songs with deep meaningful
lyrics, while some are classics presented in a new way.

The
album comes in the midst of one of the most important years of Charlie
Daniels’ career. In early 2016 it was announced that he would become the
newest inductee to the Country Music Hall of Fame, along with Randy
Travis and Fred Foster. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
curtailed that with the announcement of an exhibit in his honor, called Million Mile Reflections,
set to open September 23. Adding to the fun, Kid Rock, Chris Stapleton,
Travis Tritt, Larry the Cable Guy and more will join Charlie in
celebration at his 80th Birthday Volunteer Jam on November 30 at
Bridgestone Arena. Tickets for the much anticipated event can be
purchased HERE.
